PLUS COMBI
WALL HUNG GAS BOILER FOR
CENTRAL HEATING SUPPLY
Please Read Instructions Carefully
Save for Future Reference
The SAVIO Plus Combi is a high efficiency condensing, wall mounted gas boiler which
provides central heat.
We realize that it is not possible to answer all questions about the SAVIO Plus Combi in this
manual. Reading this installation manual does not make the reader an expert in all aspects
of installation and operation, and does not replace the need for a qualified, licensed heating
contractor. We urge you to contact your installing contractor or distributor if you are in question
about any aspect of your boiler’s performance. Our main concern is that you are satisfied with
your boiler and its performance. We require that your contractor complete efficiency tests using
instruments.
The external controls and accessories listed in this manual (excluding those supplied inside
the boiler) are intended to serve as guidelines rather than specific recommendations. We re-
alize that other makes and models of such devices are available and can be used as suc-
cessfully as those we specify. The installing contractor is the best judge of a system’s specific
requirements, as well as the local availability of certain makes and models of controls and
accessories. The preceding does not apply, however, to the equipment that comes with every
boiler, such as the overheat control and pressure relief valves. The installation of the spe-
cific devices supplied with every boiler is absolutely necessary to the safe operation of
the boiler and protection of the heating system.
All SAVIO wall hung boilers are built in accordance with the ASME boiler and pressure vessel
code, and bear the “H” stamp. The Entire range of applications for the SAVIO Plus Combi has
been tested to standard CSA 4.9 and is CSA compliant.
This SAVIO Plus Combi has a 2 year warranty on the boiler, and 10 years on the heat exchanger
a copy of which is provided with the boiler. Please be sure to return the warranty registration card as
the warranty will be void without your boiler’s serial numbers (located on the ratings label affixed to
the boiler), date of installation and the name of your installer being on record in our files.
Thank you for purchasing our SAVIO Plus Combi. If you have questions or comments, please
don’t hesitate to contact us immediately. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.

— Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
DANGER
Caution: Do not store or use flammable materials, chemicals or flammable liquids,
especially gasoline, in the vicinity of this heating appliance.
Caution: Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off
or disconnect the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a
location external to the appliance.
Caution: Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a
qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.
The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with those of influenza, and the highest
incidence of poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during flu season.
A victim may not experience any symptoms, only one symptom, or a few symptoms.
Suspect the presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms tend to disappear when you
leave your home.
• Hot gasses from appliance, venting system pipes or chimney, escaping into the living
space.
• Flames coming out around the appliance.
• Yellow colored flames in the appliance.
• Stale or smelly air.
• The presence of soot or carbon in or around the appliance.
• Very high unexplained humidity inside the building.
If any of the symptoms of CO occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are
present, VACATE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A QUALIFIED
HEATING SERVICE COMPANY OR THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
• This boiler is intended for use, only with propane or natural gas. All flammable
liquids (especially gasoline), chemicals, rags, paper, wood scraps, debris, etc.,
should be kept away from the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and
free of all fire hazards.
• Please read the literature and warranties supplied by the manufacturers of the
various accessory equipment. This equipment is warranted by the respective
manufacturers, not by BOYERTOWN Each piece of equipment must be installed
and used according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.

Three lights (9 in Fig. 3.2) give detailed indication regarding the operation of the boiler. The
following table gives the relationship between each of the possible light combinations and their
meaning.
5.1 Warnings:
• In order to guarantee safety and correct operation, it is essential that all the tests are carried
out by a competent and responsible licensed service person before lighting up the boiler.
• The tests are described in the installation, operation and service instructions manual in Sec-
tion 15 Commissioning.
• Ensure that the Central Heating circuit is regularly filled with water checking that the pres-
sure indicated on the temperature and pressure gauge (4 on figure 3.2) is not lower than 1
bar (14.5 psi) as shown on figure 5.1.
• If the pressure reading on the pressure gauge is below 1 bar (14.5 psi), then the system will
require filling. An automatic filling valve is normally provided by the installer for this purpose.
• If you are in any doubt regarding this procedure you are advised to contact your In-
staller or an Approved Service Person.
• This appliance is provided with a built in anti-freeze system that operates the boiler when
the temperature is below 41 °F
• Therefore, when the boiler is not lit or used in cold weather, with consequent risk of freezing
do not switch off the boiler at the circuit breaker or close the gas inlet cock.
• When you expect not to use the boiler for a long period follow the instructions given in sec-
tion 5.6 on page 14.
Air introduced into the boiler during this filling process will vent through the automatic air purger
fitted to the boiler. You may also find it necessary to vent air from your heating circuit using the
installed vents, however be aware that excessive venting will cause the pressure in the system
to drop. Always ensure that the pressure gauge is set at the required pressure.
Warnings: Do not attempt to start the boiler unless all cleanout doors are secured and
sealed. Do not attempt to light the burner by hand.

When you expect not to use the boiler for a long period:
• Switch off the electricity supply to the boiler, by means of the circuit breaker;
• Shut off the gas supply cock connected to the gas inlet pipe and the cock connected to the
supply cold water inlet pipe (see section 3.3 for pipes)
• Empty the water circuit, if necessary, as shown in the installation, operation and service
instructions manual in the maintenance section.
The temperature of the domestic hot water coming out from the boiler can be regulated from a
minimum of approximately 95° F to a maximum of approximately 131° F by turning the control
shown in fig. 5.6
Minimum
Maximum
Figure 5.7
Figure 5.6
Adjustment of the d.h.w. temperature is completely separate from that of the c.h. circuit.
The adjustment system integrated within the boiler automatically controls the flow of gas to
the burner in order to keep the temperature of d.h.w. delivered constant ,between the limits of
maximum and minimum output.
Where the demand is at a low level or with the temperature set to the minimum,it is normal to
see a cycle of lighting and extinguishing of the burner when running.
Regulate the domestic hot water temperature to a value suitable for your requirements.
Reduce the need to mix the hot water with cold water.
In this way, you will appreciate the characteristics of automatic regulation.
If the water is particularly hard, we recommend regulating the boiler at a temperature lower
than 120° F fig.
In these cases, we nevertheless recommend the installation of a water-softener on the domes-
tic hot water system.
If the maximum flow rate of the domestic hot water is too high for a sufficient temperature to be
reached, it is advisable to have a suitable flow rate limiter installed by an Authorised Assistance
Technician.

6.2 Frost Protection:
• The built in antifreeze system and any additional system protect the boiler from possible
damages due to the icing.
• This system doesn’t guarantee the protection of the whole central heating system.
• In the case that the external temperature may be lower than 32°F it is suggested to leave
the system running setting the room thermostat at a low temperature.
• When the boiler is completely switched off for a long period, it is recommended to empty
completely central heating circuit.
• For efficient and continuous operation of the boiler, it is advisable to arrange maintenance
and cleaning by an Authorised Service Person, at least once a year.
• During the service, the most important components of the boiler will be inspected and
cleaned. This service can be part of a maintenance contract.
In particular, you are advised to have the following checks carried out:
• primary heat and domestic hot water exchanger;
• burner;
• exhaust fume duct and flue;
• pressurization of the expansion vessel;
• filling up of the central heating circuit;
• bleeding of air from the central heating system;
• general check of the appliance’s operation.
• check the condensate trap
If the pressure on the temperature and pressure gauge (Figure 5.1 on page 11) has
gone down:
• It is necessary to fill up the appliance with water again, so as to raise the pressure to an
adequate level as described in the section 5.2 of this manual.
• If filling up with water has to be done very frequent, have the system checked for leaks.
Figure 6.3
• Close the cocks connected to the inlet gas pipe and to the domestic cold water inlet pipe
under the boiler and call an Authorised Service Person.
In case of problems other than those mentioned here, switch off the boiler, as described
in Section 5.6 on page 14 and call a competent and responsible service person.
